Raj thackeray targeted
Now MNS President raj Thackeray's statement has come out on this. By tweeting, thackeray said, 'It is a
matter of satisfaction that Manoj Jarange Patil has called off the hunger strike that was going on for the last 17
days for maratha reservation. It is good that cm Eknath Shinde mediated the solution. But I hope that while
ending this hunger strike, no unfulfilled promises will be made by the government.
Said this about the youth
Raj thackeray further said, 'The youth of the maratha community are restless today, worried about their future
and this is right too. It should be seen that whatever schemes have been brought by the government in the last
few years to provide employment, self-employment to these youth or to help the children of this society in
getting education, they will be implemented properly. Or not. What happened in maharashtra in the last 17-18
days should not happen again. The wish is that the young men and women who are struggling with the worries
of life should never have to face lathicharge and no one should have to put their life in risk.
